How well Lower cat track holds snow

Snow preservationExcellent

Facing north at an average 14°, Lower cat track gets about 58% of the winter sun that flat ground at Wildcat Mountain does, December through March. That's shadier than 86% of the runs we've measured, and the 9th shadiest named run at Wildcat Mountain. Its top sits at 2,640 feet.

Shaded snow stays colder and drier, so it holds powder longer after a storm and is slower to crust over or turn to slush in spring. Shading from ridges and trees isn't counted yet.
